For my and Vilses speaker-backpack it’s really crucial that we bend our angles straight and in the right angle.
We developed our own heat bending machine to make straight bends, but we needed a fixed angle to bend it in the correct angle.

So we extracted all the angles from our CAD-drawing and placed them on a new drawing. We had this idea about a multi-angeled hexagon, containing all the angles needed.
But we couldn’t fit all angles on one sheet, so we had to make two sheets.

After that we cut the angles with the laser-cutter, we also wrote the angles on top.

Audio crossover filter

We will be placing a audio crossover (frequency splitter) filter on the signal input before the amplifier.
If we would place the filter after the amplifier we would loose effect, and we want as long battery-life as possible.

In the future we will use a digital audio crossover, like the miniDSP (miniDSP Link)

Material

We have choose a pretty unusual material for this speaker, polycarbonate. It’s a material that is easy to work with and it looks great.

What is even more unusual is that we are making a holdable design:

This will give us a almost completely air-tight box, but! it’s going to be really hard to fold it correctly. Therefore we have designed the fold-able lines pre-milled with 90°.

As we don’t have a big CNC-mill, we let the company Plastmästarn mill our project.
